COMMUNNfY
DORIS TRAOIR IS
C CITIZEN OF THE EAR
BY KELLI PEACOCK
News Editor
The Calhoun County,
Chamber of Commerce
celebrated the year in
business Thursday night
at their 62nd antital,
banquet held at the W.T.
Neal Civic Center.
The highlight of the
evening was the
announcement of the
Citizen of the Year
Award that went to
Doris Traylor of
Blountstown.
Although she is in her
80s, her youthful spirit
defies her age. Doris has
devoted countless hours
serving the community.
Notice the sidewalk
lined with bradford pear
trees along Central
Avenue East? The new
trash receptacles down-
town? Wildflowers
blooming in county
parks? Doris had a hand
in all these beautification
projects and many oth-
ers,. *
Over the summer,
Doris spend full days in
the hot sun working to
plant roses outside the
hospital. She came up
with the idea to. create
the new hospital patios
and coordinated the
project through
Blountstown Main
Street.
Ever been to Movie
on the Square? No doubt
you have seen Doris in
her folding chair, wrap-
ping hot dogs. bagging
popcorn or selling treats.
She stays from start to
Finish. -
Doris is an active
member of First Baptist
Church, Keep Calhoun
County Beautifdl, the
Torreya Garden Club,
and Blountstown Main
Street. It is obvious she
cares about her commu-
nity. She doesn't say,
"Somebody should do
this or that." She does it.
And there is no one more
worthy of this award.
Also honored at the
banquet was Harry
Hagan, the voice of
WYBT/WPHK who
worked tirelessly for 15
years to develop the
Blountstown Greenway.
He received the
Crackerjack Award for
his vision and dedication.
Pastor Geraldine
Sheard was recognized
for her extraordinary
commitment to the com-
munity with the
Volunteer of the Year
Award. Through her
church, she established a
clothes closet and a food
pantry. She works with
high school students to
secure financial assis-
tance for college, assists
with afterschool pro-
grams, helps building
churches and visits the
*sick and elderly.
The Bobby Clark
President's Award went
to Kenny Griffin of
Workforce Florida.
Although he is from
Jackson County, he has
been a true asset to
Calhoun County for so
many years. The award
is given to the Chamber
board member who has
gone above and beyond
to promote, work behind
the scenes, volunteer
and further the vision of
the Calhoun County

Many of you remember h..iR ;,.ycngboy.pIying
on his parents' farm. You w"t ed.lri' d&i-v.i's first

worked among you as a young man, panting crops

mentors. He sought your adv;c k ir.arned from
your experiences." 4-
She went on to say, "You've watched him grow
into a man with a strong faith in God and loye of fam-
ily. He values his church activia s serving as an

Hassig
proposes
10% cut
inboard
salaries
BY KELLI PEACOCK
News Editor
When the Calhoun
County School Board
meets Tuesday night, they
will have an awkward issue
to discuss: whether or not to
cut their own salaries.
At the last regular board
meeting, District 5 Board
Member Danny Hassig.
suggested they take the ax
to their own wages and
reduce their salaries by 10
percent.
"It's very fortunate that
we have reserves and are
not laying off employees,"
Hassig to1d the board when
commenting on the state of
the economy and'budget
issues impacting agencies
around Florida. "I' have
been wondering if there is a ,
way, to show leadership-to
our teachers...something
we could do collectively if
we are willing to take a pay
decrease and earmark
those funds for special pro-'
grams."
Chairwoman Kelly King
from District 1 responded
that there would certainly
be budget cuts, this year.
"It's definitely something
we should look at," she
stated and suggested the
school finance manager,
Suzanne Mason, look at the
proposal when doing the
budget cuts.
"I think this is fine," said
Tim Smith of' district 3.
".For several years we had
to set 'our salaries. Two
times we never gave our-
*selves a raise: Now the
state is setting it. Can we do
this?"
Mason stated that it was'
permissable for the board
to lower their salaries.
The matter is set to be
:discussed again on Tuesday
night at 5 p.m. in the court-
house.

fLETTERTOTHEITOiRI
To the Editor:
The following has been
attributed to State
Representative Mitchell
Kaye from GA.
"We the sensible people
of the United States, in an
attempt to help everyone
get along, restore some
semblance of justice, avoid
more riots, keep our nation
safe, promote positive
behavior, and secure the
blessings of debt-free liber-
ty to ourselves and our
great-great- great-grand-
children, hereby .try one
more time to ordain and
establish some common
sense guidelines for the ter-
minally whiny, guilt ridden,
delusional, and other liberal
bed wetters. We hold these
truths to be self evident:
that a whole lot of people
are confused by the Bill of
Rights and a;e so dim they
require a Bill of NON-
Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not
have the right to a new car,
big screen TV, or any other
form of wealth. More power
to you, if you can legally
acquire them, but no one is
guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II:, You do
not have the right to never
be offended. This country is
based on freedom, and that
means freedom for every-
one -- not just you! You may
leave the room,' turn the
channel, express a different
opinion, etc.; but the world
is full of idiots, and proba-
bly always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do
not have 'the right to be free
from harm. If you stick a
screwdriver in your eye,
learn to'be more careful; do
not expect the tool manu-
facturer to make you and
all your relatives independ-
ently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do
not have the right to free
food and housing.
Americans are the most
charitable people to be
found, and will gladly help
anyone in need, but we are
quickly growing weary of
subsidizing generation after
generation of professional
couch potatoes who achieve
nothing more than the cre-
aion of another generation
of professional couch pota-
toes.
ARTICLE V: You do not
have the right to free health
care. That would be nice,
but from the looks of public
housing, we're just not
interested in public, health
care.
ARTICLE VI: You do
not have the right to physi-
cally harm other people. If
you kidnap, rape, intention-
ally maim, or -kill someone,
don't be surprised if the rest
of us want to see you fry in
the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII:' You do
not have the right to the
possessions of others. If you
rob, cheat, or coerce away
the goods or services of
other citizens, don't be sur-
prised if the rest of us get
together and lock you away
in a place where you still
won't have the right to a big
screen color TV or a life of
leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do
not have the right to a job.
All of us sure want you to
have a job, and will gladly
hlp you along in hard
times, but we expect you to
take advantage of .the
opportunities of education
and vocational training laid
.before you to make yourself
useful. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX: You do
not have the right to happi-
ness. Being an American
means that you have the
right to PURSUE happi-
ness, which by the way, is a
lot easier if you are unen-
cumbered by an over abun-
dance of idiotic laws creat-
ed by those of you who

Alice Williford marked
99th birthday March 1
Alice Williford, at 99
years, remains a miracle in
slow motion! Held in high
regard by all who know her,
she is as her name implies.
"A" for Authentic, "I' for
Lover of Truth, "I" for
Independent, still, "C" for
Caring, and "E" for
Elegant.
Alice is wise and kind,
remains interest in the out-
side world. She is an avid
reader of current events

friends and she holds her
Eastern Star family as top
priority. Garden and

continues to leave her
mark! .
Woman's Club extends
support for 'Clubhouse'
BY CONNIE WILLIFORD
The Blountstown
Woman's Club met for its
monthly "brown bag" lunch
'and business meeting at.the
WT. Neal Civic Center on
Thursday, lFebruary 19,
2009. President, Jessie
Mae Price presided.
Frances Price was called.
upon for the Devotional,
and following, the Pledge of
Allegiance. Frances shared
examples of positive affir-
mations that might be prac-
ticed by a person on a daily
basis. Practicing such posi-
tives could bring a more
organized and simplified
living style, something that
seems vital in this .modern
world of "'hurry." The con-
cept, though not new, was
based on work and readings
of Louise Haye.
Following Frances'
thoughtful, presentation,
and the Pledge, President
Jessie Mae broached' an
idea about a community
service project that the
cha.er.might Undertake.
The Old Clubhouse, dating
bacF -t_ early 1930's,
wal at one time owned by
the Woman's Club of that
day. Club members were a
hard-working and dedicat-
Sed group who were strongly
united in spirit anrd purpose
Their legacy lives on. The
structure is currently at
Pioneer Settlement, and a
number of community
events have been given so
that monies for necessary
refurbishment could be
made available. It was sug-
gested and motion made to
donate an amount of money
for this purpose. All were
in favor of this idea, realiz-
ing also. that the Clubhouse
would be a perfect setting
for future meetings, hosting
of various chapters who
come to our community for
annual events, and the like.
Time for lunch' and
many thanks to Hostesses
Gail Wood. and Alice
Williford for their refresh-
ments -- coffee and iced'tea,
Lazy Susan of mixed nuts
and M&M's, and delicious
Italian Cream Cake.
At last the fun of the day
was ,on' the agenda. Jessie
Mae Price brought the
group into preparation for
the Sweetheart Auction.
Members -had brought_
'white elephants',. though as
it tiinied o&t, all items were
diverse, clever, and worthy
of winning. Members bid

People!
Natural gas supplies vitally needed to
thousands of homes, businesses, and industries.
in Florida. Energy, whether it be in the form of
gas. electricity. oil, water, etc., when uncontrolled.
can be dangerous.
-Even though a record of safe operations has
been established over the-years by the regulated
gas industry, knowledge of the. information
contained in this ad can assist you in recognizing
a' potentially hazardous condition .and take,
appropriate action to safeguard life and property.
Q WHAT ARE' SOME 'OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF NATURAL GAS A
USER SHOULD KNOW?
A. Natural Gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons
composed mainly of mefhane.and exhibits the
following characteristics:
1. Odorless an odor is added to this gas.
2; It is lighter than air and if released will rise
.into the atmosphere unless trapped.
3. It is nontoxic. However, as with any burning
process, incomplete, combustion will form carbon
monoxide which is toxic.
4. It is colorless.
5. It has a flammability range of from 4% to
14% (approximate values by volume of gas to
air).
Q. IS NATURAL GAS DANGEROUS?
A. Gas, like all forms of energy, is capable of
doing damage and must be used properly.
However, the experience with natural gas use
shows it to be more safe than other energy
sources which you use in your home or business.
Possible hazards include fire, explosion, and
disruption of normal activities.
Q. WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT
GAS ODOR?
A. 1. Natural gas does not normally have an
odor.
2. A substance is added by your gas company
to give natural gas a "rotten-egg smell should it
escape..
Natural
3. Become familiar with the smell. Should you
detect this odor, it doesn't positively tell you that
there is a gas leak; but this is sufficient reason for
you to call your gas company.and have/them
investigate,
Q. WHAT ADDITIONAL WAYS CAN YOU
DETECT A GAS LEAK?
A. 1, When the ground is wet, you may detect
a leak by seeing bubbles rising through puddles
of water in a uniform manner.
2. A larger leak of gas from underground.
piping may be able to be seen by sand blowing
around a small hole in the ground; it may be felt
just as you may feel air leaking. ,
3. A flame at or around appliance piping other
than at the burner indicate leakage.:
Q. THE FACT THAT A "ROTTEN-EGG"
ODOR IS DETECTED, DOES THAT MEAN
THAT THERE IS'A NATURAL GAS LEAK?
A. No, but this should be checked .to assure
that the odor isn't an indication of a gas leak. Call
your gas company and report it. Odors similar to
that of natural gas may some from the following:
1. A sewer system.
2. A water aeration play which has a sulphur
content.
3. Swamps or bogs.
4. Areas where the land has been filled, etc.
Q. IF THERE IS A GAS LEAK WILL YOU
ALWAYS SMELL AN ODOR?C
A. No. If gas leaks from an:.above ground
pipe, there should always ben an odor. However,,
when gas travels through the ground, such as a
leak from an underground service line or main,
the ground acts as a filter.and can remove the
odor from the gas.
Q. WHY ISN'T A GAS ODOR SMELLED
WHEN THE GAS IS BURNED ON A GAS
RANGE OR FURNACE?
A. The material used to odorize the gas is
flammable and is consumed in- the process of
burning. If your equipment'is properly adjusted
iGas &
you should not detect the odor when you are
using your appliances.
Q. WHAT CAN ONE DO TO REDUCE
THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT?
A. First keep the emergency telephone
number of your gas company handy. A good
place to keep this number is to write it down in
the front of your telephone book'along with other
emergency telephone numbers such as fire,
police, etc.
Other things which should be done to improve
safety, as well as conserve energy, are:
1. Teach children that they are not to play with
any appliances in the home.
2. Clean the burners and have'them checked
for proper adjustments periodically.
3. Repairs, installations, and .removal of
appliances are jobs for qualified persons. Use
only qualified people to do this work.
4. If lighting of an appliance is required,
ALWAYS light match and hold at ignitition
point of burner before you turn on the gas.
5. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
operation and care of gas appliances.
6. Never take a chance. If you think you
smell qgs; call your gas company.
Q. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE-WHEN
ONE BELIEVE HE SMELLS GAS?
A. If a slight odor is detected in a localized
area or room of a building DO NOT use a
match or other flame in the area; call the gas
company immediately.
S.2. If a strong odor of gas is detected in a
building or other confined space DO NOT
operate electric switches, light matches, or use
an open flame; however, DO open windows
and doors to ventilate the area (caution: don't
turn on the exhaust fans). Leave the building,
and call the gas company.
3. IF A STRONG ODOR IS DETECTED IN
A BUILDING AND/OR A HISSING SOUND IS
HEARD -DO NOT operate electrical switches,
Safety
lights, or ,other devices; DO evacuee, the
building, leaving exit doors on your way out,
warn' persons to say clear of the building land
call the fire department and gas company
immediately from another location.
4. If the odor of gas is detected outside ( in
the yard, ar the sidewalk, etc.) immediately
call the gas company.
SAFETY IS YOUR BUSINESS. Educate
your family and friends about the precautions
to take when they believe they smell the odor
of gas.
CAUTION: The term "GAS" is used by the
news media and others to include a variety of
products such as liquefied petroleum gases
(propane, butane) gasoline and natural gas.
Each product has its own characteristics which
differ from one another, thus the information
given in this advertisement is applicable only
to NATURAL GAS.
NEVER POSTPONE
GAS COMPANY WHEN
THAT YOU SMELL GAS.

third the Hornets were
poised to win the. game.
However, Altha's leftfielder

quail to preserve a 3-3 tie.
With his arm and bat
senior Ethan Byler led the
varsity Wildcats to there
first win .in their district
opener against the
Cottondale Hornets, 10-1.

throughout the contest.
Byler struck out .14 of the
26 batters he faced,
allowed .only 3 hits, he sur-
rendered only 3 walks, and
he was credited with the
Hornets' lone run.

off the second inning with
his first hit of the season--a
single through the right
side. Next, Tyler Huff exe-
cuted a sacrifice bunt to
move Floyd to second base.

bardment in, the third

more runs. Jeremy
O'Bryan was issued a lead-
'off walk. He advanced to

second consecutive infield
single. Ethan Byler drew a
bases-loaded walk that
allowed Floyd to cross
home .plate. Next, Corey
Johnson 's towering infield
fly was misplayed by the

Edenfield were already in
motion, they scored easily
on the play.
Cottondale scored their
only run in the third inning.
The Wildcats made it a
9-1 ballgame in the fifth
inning. Tyler Huff drew a
leadoff walk and reached
second base on a wild pitch.

Edenfield went 2 for 5,
scored 2 runs and stole 2
bases. Corey Johnson was
2 for 5 and racked up 3
RBIs. Jacob Warner was 1

did work defensively com-
mitting only one error
while Cottondale made 6
errors.

comes .after
a long and
serious illness. And ,when
the loss is sudden and
unexpected, the shock can
be overwhelming No matter
the circumstances of loss,
there is always sadness,
heartache, and emptiness.
You have a right to grieve
and to heal Healing doesn't
mean forgening your loss.
You never will. Rather,
healing helps you to accept
it as part of your life and : .
move on. If you're one of the"
family members we have
.served, we would, like you to
know you are still in our
thoughts. ,
No matter how short, no

Blountstown's own Tony Glass part
of "Extreme Home Makeover" team
BY KELLI PEACOCK
News Editor
When ABC's Extreme
Makeover Home Edition
rolled into Tallahassee last
week to build a house for a
Sdeserving family in need,
they. called on the top folks
in the construction and
design field to get the joqb
done. And in the Florida
panhandle, when you are
looking for the best. of the
best, someone in the bunch'
is going to be from Calhoun
County!
:* Tony Glass of
Blountstown, who's work
has .been. featured. in
Architectural Digest,. was'
among those 'who- gave
countless hours to put the
struggling Kadzis family in
a beautiful home. Barbara
Kadzis, along with her son,-
Chris, and six adopted spe-
cial needs children from
China, were overwhelmed
when the bus pulled away
on Friday. Barbara's hus-
band, David, is hospitalized
With brain cancer.
S 'What the family ,didn't
see were the thousands of
hours of work behind the
scenes that were carried
out in three short days by
hundreds of volunteers like.
TOny. ..
Glass got involved in the
project when the company
he works for wap enlisted as
a contractor and he asked
to participate. After work-
ing-a full day on his regular
job, Tony donated' eight,
hours each' night to the:
project. He was enlisted to
"do the finishing work on the
room host Tv Pennington
designated his "special
project" on the house.
S"I was. amazed at how,
fast they built: that size
home," Tony remarks of
the 3600 square foot house.
"But, most importantly, I,
was amazed how .many
people took time out of
their busy lives to help a
family they : didn't everi
know. Withall the bad
things happening in the
world today it was great to
see so manyy 'people from
different backgrounds come'
together for this family."
.Tony's family' had to.
keep the "secret about the
project until this: week.: And-
'that wasn't easy especial-'
ly considering the fact that
his wife, Molly, 'and daugh-
ter, Erip, are huge fans 6f
Pennington. "My daughter
is going to school to be an,
architect so' she was really .
excited." says Tbny.'
As far as working with
the star studded cast, Glass
says, "I didn't get to spend
too much time with them
because it was a total mad
house."
[AVAMUJE B S~A~ A AU Ad VW ~F~j
The day he was set to
have time .to mingle with
the cast was on reveal day
which was Friday around
lunch. Unfortunately, the
paint fumes he -inhaled
working 'on the special proj-
ect left him home in bed
with serious sinus issues.
Despite missing the cel-
ebration and enduring
breathing problems from
the paint, TIbny doesn't hes-
itate to say: he'd do it all
again. "I would .love to. I
love what I do.' It really is
an art form to take a binch
of boards had make some-
thing beautiful. Of course,
my wife wishes I would fix
her some stuff, but you
know what they say about
that." '
At the end of the week,
Glass was 'clear. about a
couple things. "In hard
times like this, there are
'still people who care. And I
am blessed to have a nice
home and a healthy fami-
ly."
The episode will air on
April 26.
